Product Description
The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the concepts of statistical analysis of data for students at the undergraduate and graduate level, and to provide tools for data reduction and error analysis commonly required in the physical sciences. The presentation is developed from a practical point of view, including enough derivation to justify the results, but emphasizing methods of handling data more than theory. This text provides a variety of numerical and graphical techniques. Computer programs that support these techniques will be available on an accompanying website in both Fortran and C++. |

The bible of data analysis by D. Mitchell  5 Stars
August 21, 2009
When I joined Ed Stone's space radiation lab at Caltech, in 1978, he handed out copies of this book to every student working for him. It's still revised and reprinted today. A very practical book for real world work.

An Essential Book for Engineers and Scientists by Mr. James R. White (Islamorada, FL USA) 5 Stars
February 20, 2009
As a practicing engineer, this was one of 5 or 6 books that I found most essential throughout my career. Chapter 4 on Propagation of Errors was referred to very often in my work.

It has its ups and downs by M. Kerns (The region) 3 Stars
September 19, 2008
As far as a book that gears you to applying statistics to the lab it does the job adequately. As far as explaining the theory of probability and statistics in a coherent way it leaves much to be desired. If I were a lab instructor I would probably use the book "Introduction to Probability and Statistics" by Milton and Arnold and just lecture on propagation of errors and the likewise.
